With the variety of cigars on the market, smokers often get confused about the different strengths you can choose from. It’s important to note that when you hear someone say “strength”, what we’re really talking about is “body”. These words are sometimes used interchangeably but if we’re getting technical, strength typically refers to the amount of nicotine in a smoke whereas body refers to the flavor profile. While it’s true that more intense flavored cigars generally have a higher nicotine strength, this is usually not why we choose them because as cigar-lovers, we’re all about flavor am I right?

In nutshell, there are three main “bodies” we use to describe the flavor profile of a cigar. Mild, medium, and full. You’ll often hear some cigars described as “mild to medium” or “medium to full” bodied and this means precisely what you’d expect, the cigar lies somewhere between the two.  For the purposes of these product recommendation, we’ll be focusing on the medium to full bodied profiles. So if you’re into intense flavor and thick robust smoke, check out these amazing sticks that come in at a great value!
